I'm pretty new to ag brewing, but this is my sv rig. It's pretty much up and running now and I've done 3 brews on it so far. The next step is a decent controller.

That rig looks sweet mate.
What size pots are you using, kettle and malt pipe?
Awesome.

Cheers,
The main pot is around 45ltrs and the malt pipe is about 16. Can just squeeze 6kgs in the malt pipe and the last brew I ended up with a lick over 21ltrs with a 1.073 sg. So I'm pretty happy with it so far. At the moment I'm not chilling and cubing. The part I'm most happy with is the trolley/frame. Very handy for the clean up.

Here she is all dressed in black and with the controller parked up for storage. Used 3mm rubber matting which certainly looks better than just the ply and easier to clean up spills. I just need to add a cover for the pump.

If you can start with gravity, no need for pumps you will be up and running in no time. Then when you are versed enough you can add a pump if you like.tricache said:Got my keggle and mash tun esky finally finished yesteday.

Hats off truman, sure you ask a shitload of questions but that sure is one tidy rig. Hope you make some ace beers from it.Truman said:Here she is all dressed in black and with the controller parked up for storage.

Tricache, that's pretty close to what I'm wanting to do. Any chance of details on the esky conversion?
i.e., how did you remove the existing drain plug, any special hex key or tool?, did you have to pack the 1/2" pipe? whatcha using for the braid? Fittings involved? Test run yet?
Cheers, PK

The existing plug came out easy, it is just a large plastic nut on the inside so I just undid it with a shifter.practicalfool said:
My exact parts for the esky :-
Weldless Ball Valve - http://www.ibrew.com.au/collections/brewery-plumbing/products/ball-valve-with-bulkhead

12 inch Bazooka Filter - http://www.ibrew.com.au/collections/sparging-equipment/products/mesh-screen
I used a washer on the outside just to get a nice tight fit on the esky and I have filled it up with water with no leaks, I am going to test the whole system out with hot water on the weekend but I know the keggle doesn't leak as I have already done a boil test in that.

Yeah no worries, it was a joke with hidden compliments. Just wait for all the people to ask where you got the bits and bobs to build that masterpiece.
